wiimultitouch-ing....

最近在玩IDEO的low-cost multitouch server,FTIR可能不行了,現在在試wiimote,希望不要又胎死腹中。

7/8, 2009
It works on real world! It works on real world!!
全部完成了!在simulator或wii-multitouch都正常運作!弄好這個migration,對開發3D和google flash API都方便多了!下一個目標是Google Maps in multi-touch...

7/5, 2009
久違了!剛剛成功把ideo multitouch client API migrate到ActionScript 3上,目前測試simulator的單指、多指功能都正常!內建的單指、雙指效果也都運作正常!

Congratulation! The actionscript3 migation of ideo multi-touch AS2 API is just done! At the time the migrated API works fine for functions of single fingle and multi-finger on simulator. Besides the enclosed oneFingerDragger and twoFingerManipulator work well either.

PS. I still don't know why The twoFingerManipulator must be skipped, it seems the only way to make this function correctly work.

12/16, 2008
架好wiiMultitouchServer,等明天拿wiimote測試。
issue: fullscreen api for processing
prob:IR toker

被啃光的蘋果


今年一直在追Palm Pre的新聞,用Web-concept OS,很大一個優勢就是多工的能力,這是Apple iPhone一個很大的缺點,就連最新的OS進版3.0也還沒implete這能力。所以只好乖乖被嘲笑囉.....

  19. You felt like a widow when Fallout 3 came out.

  20. He will never sing in front of people… unless it’s playing Rock Band or for your kid.

childhood fears


Joshua Hoffine and her/his blog

"Also, starting in February, I am going to be offering one image per month as an 8.5″x11″ print for $20."
Joshua Hoffine從Feb.開始每個月提供一張恐怖的照片for childrenhood fear。都還蠻有趣的 ,而且1:1的尺寸也增添詭異的特色。他為mag.做的art-work也都很不錯,可以上他blog看看。

不過最好洗澡完再看.........

清澈


台北的夜晚可以有多清澈?
站在煩噪車流的十字路口,拎著為了公車零錢買的mister Donut,望著天空的眼睛還是一樣的渺小,擁擠的路寬剛好符合視角,我像是達爾文所謂的最適者,對象是擁擠的繁榮小城市。難得這個小城市的天空不是霧茫茫,我貪婪地吸了一大口氣,決定憋過無聊等待的紅綠燈30秒。卻在決定的當下即後悔,晚睡的陋習導致嚴重的缺氧,在我剛閉上嘴鼻的那一刻。這一切藉口卻其實敵不過我好色的本質。身旁拿著Play Boy布袋的女孩給我缺氧的那一重擊。現在想想其實對她的臉完全沒有印象,最深的還是她手上垂著的那兔子臉。所以來講講那個布袋吧。標準的Play boy標誌,中間是折一隻耳朵的白兔子頭,底下襯的是黑色的布質袋。說來也沒有什麼特色,所以我到底是為了什麼被她給punch了呢?我還是不明白,活了二十幾年,自己也不懂自己,難怪身邊淨是些陌生人。

無論如何,我過了馬路,上了公車,女孩緩慢的步伐都正好跟在我的後面,我似乎可以聽到我的腳落下她的抬起的那點旋律。我下車,逕自走向回家必經的臭水溝路,好臭。我停下等另一個30秒的紅綠燈,女孩用她既有的緩慢步伐走過我頭左轉75度後視角的正中央。是,原來她也有下車,可是我還是只記得那個黑底白兔的Play boy布袋,我的30秒結束,她的直線路程結束,我往南走,她往北走。

蠻有趣的UI概念

星期五, 五月 29, 2009

UI modify for blogger (6/28 renew!!)

不知道大家有沒有這種感覺,blogger的older post/newer post link的連結很不好用,要scroll到頁面底才能看到連結。趁吃粽子連假來hack一下。

Expected:
1. 頁面左右兩邊區域為UI控制區,選擇older post link(或newer)
2. mouse over會hightlight UI圖示

Code:
ps.還很不漂亮,等有時間再修...


在<head></head>間加入:

<script language="javascript">

window.onscroll = function (){
//for webkit, safari, chrome usage
var scrollTop = document.documentElement.scrollTop || window.pageYOffset;
if (null!=document.getElementById("older_post")){
document.getElementById("older_post").style.top=scrollTop+"px";
}
if (null!=document.getElementById("newer_post")){
document.getElementById("newer_post").style.top=scrollTop+"px";
}
}

function show_direction(lr){
switch(lr){
case 1:
//left
document.getElementById("newer_post_content").src = "http://ur/picture/for/left";
break;
case 2:
document.getElementById("older_post_content").src = "http://ur/picture/for/right";
break;
default:
break;
}
}

function hid_direction(lr){
switch(lr){
case 1:
document.getElementById("newer_post_content").src = "http://ur/mouseout/picture/for/left";
break;
case 2:
document.getElementById("older_post_content").src = "http://ur/mouseout/picture/for/right";
break;
default:
break;
}
}
</script>


然後找到b:if cond='data:newerPageUrl',下一行加上:

<a href="#" id="newer_post" expr:href='data:newerPageUrl' expr:title='data:newerPageTitle' style="width:auto; height:100%; display:block; text-decoration:none; vertical-align:middle; position:absolute; top:0px; left:0px;" onmouseover="show_direction(1)" onmouseout="hid_direction(1)"><img name="newer_post_content" src="http://ur/mouseout/picture/for/left/" alt="left arrow" id="newer_post_content" style="position:relative;"/></a>
<script language="javascript">
if (window.innerHeight != null){
document.getElementById("newer_post_content").style.top = window.innerHeight/2+"px";
} else {
document.getElementById("newer_post_content").style.top = document.documentElement.offsetHeight/2+"px";
}
</script>


接下來找到b:if cond='data:olderPageUrl',在下一行貼上:

<a href="#" id="older_post" expr:href='data:olderPageUrl' expr:title='data:olderPageTitle' style="width:auto; height:100%; display:block; text-decoration:none; vertical-align:middle; position:absolute; top:0px; right:0px;" onmouseover="show_direction(2)" onmouseout="hid_direction(2)"><img name="older_post_content" alt="right arrow" src="http://ur/mouseout/picture/for/right/" id="older_post_content" style="position:relative;"/></a>
<script language="javascript">
if (window.innerHeight != null){
document.getElementById("older_post_content").style.top = window.innerHeight/2+"px";
} else {
document.getElementById("older_post_content").style.top = document.documentElement.offsetHeight/2+"px";
}
</script>

Kat in AR

New!! 發現在iPod touch也可以辨識出來!!



今天在公司玩了整天的AR,在flash上實做出來,感謝FLARToolkit的作者。
其實code沒多難寫,看他的start guide也不用改什麼,反而是研究了很多papervision3d的lighting、shader和model loading。

用手抓貓~

這樣今年的四個目標做完一個了XD

Way Back into Love



K歌情人的主要那首歌,很讚的一部小品電影。
Lyric:
I’ve been living with a shadow overhead
I’ve been sleeping with a cloud above my bed
I’ve been lonely for so long
Trapped in the past, I just can’t seem to move on

I’ve been hiding all my hopes and dreams away
Just in case I ever need them again someday
I’ve been setting aside time
To clear a little space in the corners of my mind

All I want to do is find a way back into love
I can’t make it through without a way back into love
Oh oh oh

I’ve been watching but the stars refuse to shine
I’ve been searching but I just don’t see the signs
I know that it’s out there
There’s got to be something for my soul somewhere

I’ve been looking for someone to shed some light
Not just somebody just to get me through the night
I could use some direction
And I’m open to your suggestions

All I want to do is find a way back into love
I can’t make it through without a way back into love
And if I open my heart again
I guess I’m hoping you’ll be there for me in the end

There are moments when I don’t know if it’s real
Or if anybody feels the way I feel
I need inspiration
Not just another negotiation

All I want to do is find a way back into love
I can’t make it through without a way back into love
And if I open my heart to you
I’m hoping you’ll show me what to do
And if you help me to start again
You know that I’ll be there for you in the end

超愛的經典手機-SONY J-16


用到現在我最滿意的一隻手機-SONY J-16,看好!是Sony,不是Sony Ericsson!


這隻手機陪我過了大學二年吧(?),後來換的手機都沒有類似的感動,sony ericsson也沒有延續這樣的操作概念。J-16相當輕而且薄,特殊的流線型可以很順的滑進口袋中。其順手的程度,我有次還連同肉粽粽葉丟近海科院的垃圾桶= =.......(找超久.......)


四色灰階手機做成3D介面,我真的沒看過。他介面的質感我覺得目前沒有一隻手機介面比得上(除了iPhone)。記得沒錯的話,他的3D球是有transition動畫的!

當時sony超出風頭的瀏覽介面,jog dial,配合有實際transition動畫的3D介面,只能用流暢來形容。
說實在這個操作方式現在來看也是很出色,該說手機操作介面在這8年內都沒長進還是手機業者腦殘呢?
淡然這不能跟touch同日而語,類似的滾輪式操作介面後來用在creative zune上,好像也有用在幾隻手機上吧,只是都不是很出名。要算的話,apple ipod將這種滾輪式操作發揮到極致,到現在這樣的操作還是很堪用(只是也是強弩之末了,touch威力強大阿!)

這樣的操作方式需要軟體介面配合做one-direction scrolling,而且有transition效果會有1:1實感的錯覺,在touch介面前的歲月中,這實在相當出色。

他的鈴聲堪稱當時最美的鈴聲,只是都內建的。但我一直在找他的傳統鈴聲,逼真程度讓非常多人被騙,以為有室內電話響XD
現在一直找不到這樣的鈴聲......

不過現在手機都等著進入下個世代,這只能當作追憶了~

雨神

今晚台北城的孤寂加上了一陣不小的雨。
無奈的我在臨家前的一小段路淋濕了整身,如同往常一樣。

朋友都叫我雨神,似乎是因為我到之處,都會降下甘霖,間接造成幾次旅遊的fail,幾次活動的中斷,幾次的敗興而歸。冤枉阿,大人!

今晚如同很多個下雨天一樣,我還是被淋到了整身,在離家前兩個紅綠燈。我突然回憶起一件事。

前幾天一時興起,發覺已經遺失掉很多高中時的回憶,感嘆記憶的薄弱。今天卻想起高中某天發生的奇事。

從高中,我就很怪。那時候覺得做一些正常人不會做的事,才能凸顯自己的存在,自己越怪越開心。梅雨季,台北的梅雨季是千篇一律的午後雷陣雨,午後才下的急雨。曾經一天,下午一個下課的十分鐘,下起了千篇一律的某一篇那一律,我突然覺得自己好喜歡雨,就衝出教室,衝到雨中,讓雨淋,雙手張開,讓雨淋。我幻想那一幕,大家都往建築物跑,唯獨我反方向,衝到空地,雙手張開,讓雨淋。多美的一幕阿!

結果,我想當上雨神就是從那時候開始......

我應該尊敬雨的。

ps.我忘了那時候看過刺激1997了沒。

心得

今天看了幾篇文章,有點心得。
saying something studpid...
Por Que Base的文章一直都很有可看性,對攝影的觀念上有很大的啟發,這篇是比較有趣的文章,我喜歡下面這段:
"About 6 years ago, I told a student that she will need a camera for the class and she replied “I have a digital camera”, then I said “No, you will need a film camera because we will be processing the film in the darkroom” then she said “I can process it in my computer”.

It sounded a bit stupid but then it made me realize how old I was…"

曾寶儀的blog
我對藝人一直有偏見,我也知道這是非常不對的,可是就是會這麼想,就像時間到了要吃飯一樣的自然。我必需要說雖然我不是曾寶儀的粉絲,可是我一直覺得她很正。blog是個很神奇的東西,所有閃閃發亮的東西發表在blog上就變得尋常生活一般,藝人也像平常人一樣(或者他們本來就是平常人)。總而言之,這個blog是有趣而且平易近人的,過了12點的意外收穫。

最後,心得是要擺在心裡的,所以我一如往常不寫心得,只是說這些文章讓我今天有點心得而已。(有時候我自己都覺得自己很欠打)

對了,新的照片上架了,一樣拍的不好。相機都是Nikon FE-2,底片都是X-tra 400。
